21
And they that were in the castle, sent messengers to Tryphon, that he should make haste to come through the desert, and sent them victuals.
22
And Tryphon made ready all his horsemen to come that night: but there fell a very great snow, and he came not into the country of Galaad.
23
And when he approached to Bascama, he slew Jonathan and his sons there.
24
And Tryphon returned, and went into his own country.
25
And Simon sent, and took the bones of Jonathan his brother, and buried them in Modin, in the city of his fathers.
26
And all Israel bewailed him with great lamentation: and they mourned for him many days.
27
And Simon built over the sepulchre of his father and of his brethren, a building lofty to the sight, of polished stone behind and before:
28
And he set up seven pyramids one against another for his father and his mother, and his four brethren:
29
And round about these he set great pillars: and upon the pillars arms for a perpetual memory: and by the arms ships carved, which might be seen by all that sailed on the sea.
30
This is the sepulchre that he made in Modin even unto this day.
31
But Tryphon when he was upon a journey with the young king Antiochus, treacherously slew him.
